Photo of the day – Stats from my first day of using Bixi

Bixi Stats

Yesterday I received my Bixi key. Bixi is a public bicycle service in Montreal. So I was so happy to receive my key yesterday, and I biked around and discovered parts of Montreal that I have never been to. As you can see from the stats I drove 39 KM, saved 10kg in greenhouse gas emissions, and 3 Liters of gas if i was to have riden a car for all those trips. If you want to know where these figures are generated from here it is: The distance you traveled is an estimate, calculated using an assumed speed of 12 km/h and depending upon the time of use. Source : Vélo Québec.
The reduction in greenhouses gases emitted is an estimate calculated according to The Urban Transportation Emissions Calculator for a light passenger vehicle, depending upon your estimated traveling distance. Source : Transport Canada, April 2008.
The amount of gas saved is an estimate calculated according to Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE ) norms for tourist vehicles, establishing average gas consumption of 8.5 litres/100 km. Source: Environment Canada.

Today I was on my way to Future Shop to just do some isle cruising. I ended up buying a huge paper shredder, which is great for protecting against identity theft, fraud etc. However on the way there I looked up at the sky and found that within a very close range the sky was half dark and half sunny. I haven’t seen a place other than Montreal where this happens often. It is a bit hard to see in the picture, so click on it to see it larger might help a bit!

Photo of the day – Salvation Army Clothes Drop

A couple of my closest friends have finished University here in Montreal, and have moved on with their lives. They left some old clothes behind that were going to be thrown away. I decided to take it to the Salvation Army, so they can benefit someone that needs them. We Should all donate whatever we have lying around that we don’t need.

Yesterday I went out with a friend on St.Laurent Street and We found this yogurt joint. Reminds of me Red Mango in California! Their Yogurt is also au naturel, only difference is that it is Self Serve. Also it is by weight, don’t remember if that’s how it was in Red Mango.
